Functional facilities that withstand the elements and serve the masses
Transportation facilities pose some very specific design challenges. They often involve large-span structures and "industrial strength" engineering systems. Frequently, there are special regulations to meet and approvals to obtain. They must be comfortable and appropriate in scale for both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. They should be easy to find, and easy to navigate through. Appropriate safety and security solutions are important. And function, cost-efficiency and durability are paramount.

Sometimes these facilities are strictly functional, with little exterior design articulation. Other times, the budget enables the design team to integrate design cues from the site and surrounding neighborhood so the ramp or transit facility blends in and belongs. When they look good and work hard, we know our job is well done.
